Sue Ann Steele, 84 of Butler, Missouri passed away Sunday, May 8, 2022 at Silvercrest at Collegeview in Lenexa, Kansas. Graveside services will be held 2:00 pm Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at Oak Hill Cemetery, Butler. A celebration of life will also be held 4:00 pm Thursday, June 9, 2022 at the Butler Country Club. Services under the direction of Mullinax Funeral Home, Butler (660-679-0009). Memorial contributions may be made to the First Christian Church of Butler or The Missouri Junior Holstein Association for The Sue Ann Steele Memorial, 11449 Lawrence 2220, Verona, MO 65769. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.mullinaxfuneralhome.com or mailed to Rick King at 430 NW St Rt K, Butler, MO 64730.

Sue Ann was born August 19, 1937 in Adrian, Missouri to Richard and Irene Showalter King. She grew up in Adrian and graduated from Adrian High School. On April 27, 1957 she was united in marriage to Ed Steele. To this union two beautiful girls were born. They made their life and home west of Butler, MO, on Steele & King dairy farms where she supported the operations while working a full-time job outside the home. Ed and Sue Ann moved to Lenexa, KS in 2020 to be closer to family.

Sue Ann never missed any of her girls' events growing up and was always happy to welcome their friends in her home. Sue had a gift for writing and was synonymous with the Missouri Holstein Association serving a lengthy role as executive director and editor of the Mid-States Holstein News. Prior to that, she worked for many years at the Bates County Shopper and then the "Headliner", including being the Sports Editor. She was a long-time member of the First Christian Church in Butler where she enjoyed singing in the choir for many years. Sue enjoyed watching all kinds of sports, including the Missouri Tigers, but her greatest pride and joy was spending time with her family and traveling all over the US to watch her grandchildren compete in golf tournaments. When Sue wasn’t cheering on her grandchildren or the Tigers, she could often be found enjoying a good book or playing a game of bridge.

Sue Ann was preceded in death by her parents, brother and sister-in-law, Jerry & Jeanette King, sister-in-law Celia Engelhardt, and son-in-law Charles Bauersfeld. She is survived by her husband Ed Steele, two Daughters: Becky Bauersfeld and partner Phillip Thornton of Phoenix, AZ. and Brenda and Ted Chael of Overland Park, KS, Grandson Andrew (Laura) Chael of Mission Woods, KS and Jordan Chael of Lexington, KY. brother-in-law, Bill Engelhardt, of Broken Arrow, OK, niece Denna Johnson of Huntsville, UT, nephew Evan (Cheri) Engelhardt of Prairieville, LA., nephew Rick (Lori) King and niece Julie (Steve) Lewis all of Butler, MO., and Jana (Mike) Boehler of Olathe, KS., along with many great nieces and nephews, and many dear friends.

In Memory - Gary Short

Gary Short - GeSho Holsteins

Gary Lane Short, age 62, went home to be with the Lord on May 12, 2022. He was a graduate of Republic High School, Class of ’77. Gary loved farming, milking and showing registered Holstein cattle, managing his own hay hauling crew, raising beef cattle, fishing and hunting. He enjoyed being a partner in the family Century Farm, and he took pride in selecting and raising his prize Holstein bull, Joki Astronaut Star, winning many championships and an All-American nomination.

He was a fantastic athlete, excelling in basketball in school and softball in later years, and he was passionate about coaching his son’s little league basketball and baseball teams. Gary was professionally ambitious, enjoying stints as a business owner and realtor. The majority of his career was spent at Smitty’s Supermarkets/ Albertson’s as Warehouse Receiving Manager/Coordinator Assistant Supervisor-Program Trainer and he later worked at Missouri State University as Central Receiving Manager.

Gary had a huge heart and valued his family and relationships more than anything else. He was incredibly proud of his grandchildren and always put them first.

Gary is preceded in death by his parents, Gene and Jean Short, and sister, LuDena Hunt. He is survived by his wife, Lou Ann, son, Eric (Ashley), brother, Greg, sister, DyAnna (Ron) Shaver, brother-in-law, Mark Hunt, two precious grandchildren Grayson and Kennedy Short, Eric’s mother, Carolyn Price, nieces and nephews, other extended family members, and countless friends.
